So, I decided 1 day to get a light Linux distro to run on my crappy netbook (XP was too much for it). The onboard-wifi on the Acer Aspire is broken, so I used a WG111v2. It runs fine in Windows, but when I use Puppy 5.1.1 (which has the module for the adapter, RTL8187 or something), I can connect and everything (I chose the correct connection settings), but for whatever reason I can't auto-DCHP (I'm associated, but invalid UDP packets, blablabla). Also, I use the WNR2000. When I use Windows on it (XP), wireless works. So...

If I want to use static IP, so I have to change any settings on the router? How do I set the addresses in?

Make sure that on the usb you have the >> zf006347.sfs file
extracted to it...

this has extra drivers you need. The file must be in lower case.

I have an Acer emachines netbook >> eM350-21G16i

I could not get the sound to work on Lucid or connect to a
hidden Netgear N300 router network.
Even when I ran the Push to Connect Feature on this modem.

I spent hours on it yesterday. I even rang up 01micko i
n Queensland >> to give him a piece of my mind.

However there wasn't much of my mind left....
so he just tried helping me out instead.

As it was there was a glitch on my internet this morning,
most unusual... so I got distracted...
I was going to run Lucid 5.11 again >> then install Team Viewer...
because it has Wine running already...
and then try installing Network Magic >>
the old version…which is still good 4 Vista, XP.
Win7 seems to find networks better...
but Network Magic may still run OK as well.

NM is great 4 hidden networks in Windows.
I used it 4 times last week....4 different laptops.
This is great great software.

Never update it to Cisco's rubbish, they bought them out
and killed it....won't run after 7 days.

But the old version does, and certainly when it comes to
finding hidden networks. I posted it here.
